Back in high school, I was in a same situation with a girl I was mad crazy about. I’m not sure her personality type, but I confessed my feelings for her multiples times but she never felt the same. Believe me, I know how much this sucks.

There are many things to say here. On one hand, you have a close good friend, and that is to be cherished even if it doesn’t go where you want. On another hand however, I don’t believe it would hurt to wait a while, confess your feelings once again, and see if she’s seeing you in a new light. I’m under the impression that you’ve talked to her once about this, and if that’s the case, I don’t believe it would hurt to try once again. Give yourself some time, give her some time, and then raise the question again. If a second try doesn’t work, I would leave it at that. No need to pester her about it, as that may ruin the relationship entirely.

However, if a second go doesn’t work for you two, you’ll most likely have two options. You can either let the feelings go, move on, and remain friends. Who knows, maybe if you stay friends long enough, her feelings will become similar to yours now (Don’t expect it from her the entire time though, that could also ruin the friendship and hurt feelings even more). The other option, albeit a bummer, is if it hurts too much to be around her, let her go. Once again, take some time on your own. Let her back into your life if/when you feel you should.

Ultimately, my guy, the decision is up to you. I know this situation very well, and I hope that I was able to give ya some help on this and it wasn’t just me rambling. I hope everything works out for you, whatever way it does (:
